But you said you're not standing for it. Was that inaccurate?
No. I am not standing for it. I am making my displeasure known to all and sundry and have already said that if given the opportunity to ask Hughes what the love he's up to I will if I make the Bradford.
Alas, I do not have access to the finances needed to dig the Broncos out of the hole they are now in. As I have said....in SL we had a chance of attracting money, but now we are in the 2nd tier, the only income we will muster is from the RFL's central fund, the owner and the fans.
I think Central funding will stretch to 500k in 2016......400 fans at 15 quid a pop for 15/14 games is 90k at best so without Hughes we'll have say 600k to try and compete with clubs that have more income and if we get lucky, we then meet clubs with a cap 3 times the size of our income.
Oh...hang on. the 600k is for EVERYTHING.......including rent etc to AK.......and without wishing to annoy the barnet fan on here,if each fan this year gave AK a tenner in income, he's already said he's not happy with the 170k he's got (not counting the RFL bribe)....so we could be looking at 33% of out income on a home?
It doesn't add up.......and I repeat, I'll ask Hughes what the hell he's doing if I get the chance. What I won't do is sit (or stand) there smiling in the hope that it'll be "alright"......because sad to say, it won't.
Just to clear something up BTW.....I have never accused fans who attend games of being sheep or fanboys. I have on the other hand accused those who repeatedly say "what can we do about it" those names....the supporters trust thingy tried (unsuccessfully) to fill a coach to Castleford and muster support (unsuccessfully) to help market the club on the tube and at Origin games.....I'd have been at all events, as I was in the past, running coaches and leafletting, clearing up after the Union lot so the kids could have a decent xmas event etc....so I believe I am entitled to have my say. If you don't like it, search for the ignore button.......or simply wait until this forum drops down to the next tier and I'll then be pretty much posting to myself
